What is Reflective Practice
Reflective practice is the process of internally examining and exploring an issue
- f concern, triggered by an experience,
which results in a change of perspective’ (Boyd
and Fales, 1983, in Bolton 2005)
No ¡incidents ¡ Nothing ¡is ¡wrong ¡ with ¡me ¡and ¡my ¡ teaching ¡

Trust Me, I have more than 20 years of teaching experience

Critical Incident
Teaching ¡is ¡familiar ¡to ¡us ¡ To ¡examine ¡our ¡prac1ce ¡is ¡to ¡make ¡the ¡ familiar ¡unfamiliar ¡so ¡that ¡we ¡can ¡inquire ¡
To ¡advance ¡our ¡growth ¡as ¡scholar-‑teacher ¡ Thus ¡enhancing ¡learning ¡
Critical Incident
Reflective practice is more than an examination of personal experience; it is located in the political and social structures which are increasingly hemming professionals in (Goodson 2004, in Bolton, 2005, p.5)
Tools to Reflect
Brookfield (1995) model involves looking at your practice through four points of view or ‘critical lenses’
- 1. the point of view of the teacher
- 2. the point of view of our learners
- 3. the point of view of our colleagues
- 4. the point of view of theories and literature
Tools to Reflect
Concrete Experience DO Reflective Observation Reflect Abstract Conceptualisation Read Active Experimentation Plan

experiential learning cycle also used to explain reflective practice.
- The reflective cycle can
begin at any one of the four points. Smith, Mark (1996, last updated

What is Reflective Practice
O’Connor and Diggins define Reflective Practice as thinking about what educators do in order to reconsider their actions and refine their practices according to these thoughts. Reflective Practice is a cycle of on-going learning that occurs when we take the time to ‘stop, think and
- change. (O’Connor and Diggins,
2002, p.9)

Work load - Our preparation – lecturer – TnL Faculty support – effort to alter teaching practices – technology? Less work load releasefor PBL practitioner? Difficulty in giving up personal beliefs, opinions, and traditions in teaching Resources – time and financial Recognition – award reward system - champion
Barriers and Challenges Individual Lecturer

- The knowledge and support
- The time to reflect
- To be honost and challenge personal believe
- Fear of living in own proven living theories
- Fear of peer critical review
